Thanks for the update. I don't recall any mention of ordering in the
docs, but if there isn't anything there it makes sense to add
something.

I haven't thought about this patch in a while, but I still like the
look of it. It's definitely neater to do these checks earlier and it's
good to be able to get RLS-specific errors too. I'll take a look at
the latest updates.
